Lori looked at her smartphone and scrolled the screen with her thumb, sighing in boredom when the same picture of a cute white cat appeared for the fifth times since she got into her social media account. She couldn't help but smile slightly at the picture even though she had seen it a few times already. Apparently the feline has its own account now with even more followers liking every post the owner of the pet updated each day regarding the cat growth. Her eyes narrowed at the amount of likes the post received and was quite shocked to see it had increased so much since it was posted, which wasn't that long actually.
It wasn't that surprising either since she was also one of the people that liked the picture when she first saw it. Who can blame her though, the cat is just so cute that she can't resist from sharing the picture with her friends. There is something about the cat that seemed familiar to her, a similar sense of cuteness that she had only felt from a certain someone close to her. The person that somehow managed to make her heart melted at the sight of his adorable smile alone. Either that or she just had a soft spot for cat. Whichever it might be, the cat is cute and no one can change her mind on that!
"Hey Lori, like which one do you think look better on me?" She turned her head away from her smartphone and looked at her roommate as Leni held two different pairs of underwears in each hands. Her eyebrows knitted in frustration at the ridiculous design of one of the clothing. The former was not a problem for her since it was a light green underwear with a simple small bow in the middle, but the latter was... She don't know how she should describe it, the underwear was a small piece of green cloth with thin strings connecting the article.
It almost seemed like it wasn't created to cover anything with how revealing the design was. She might as well don't wear anything with how the clothing failed to fulfill its purpose. But that isn't what bothered her the most, if anything the thought of Leni making the piece of clothing work somehow with the perfect curves of her body irritated her more than she thought was even possible. She could already imagine the attention her younger sister would attract if she was seen wearing that... 'thing'. No! she is not going to call that piece an underwear, it barely covered anything and she would rather be dead than being seen by anyone wearing that atrocity.
And where the hell did she get that thing anyway!? Who would even sell such a thing to anyone?
"Leni, where did you get that 'thing'." Lori asked, pointing at the item with a displeased look. Her sister face instantly brightened, radiating an innocent glow to her cute expression which would be normal if not for the discussed item still being held in her hand. Leni seemed even more cheerful now that she noticed the existence of the clothing.
"Like isn't it totes pretty, I made them myself." Leni beamed happily as Lori rolled her eyes in annoyance, of course it would be one of her design. Only her can make something ridiculous like this and make it somehow appealing and attractive in a weird way. Not that she would admit that, she still have her standard. "This underwear should go with my matching bra but I can't find them anywhere In my laundry, I wonder where it could be." Leni pointed out, pressing her index finger against her chin with a thoughtful look on her face.
"Well, it must be somewhere in the house right?" Lori nervously said, averting her gaze as a bead of sweat rolled down her forehead at the mention of a certain bra being brought into their conversation. She thought her sister would already forget about the piece of clothing but maybe she underestimated her attention. After what she did to the bra, it would be better if Leni didn't know anything about it.
She coughed into her palm and looked back at her roommate, trying to find a way to change their topic of conversation. "Maybe you should stick with the first one, I think that suits your syle even more." Lori said with a nervous smile.
Waking up from her stupor, Leni looked at her before she remembered what they were talking about. She looked at the more modest underwear with the tip of her tounge poking out from the corner of her lips, considering her opinion. "I know right, its totes bring out the color of my eyes..." She agreed and Lori was hoping that she would stop at that.
"But I really want to try this one on!" Leni cutely pouted, not noticing Lori clenching her teeth in frustration. Curse whatever God that created her younger sister, clearly they didn't have any idea what they're doing.
"Maybe I should try it and ask Lincy what he think." She said as Lori groaned in frustration. They already had this conversation before, she can't believe that Leni still didn't understand why she can't do something like that so casually infront of their brother. How many times does she need to explain this to her sister, it was common sense!
Lori almost stand up to stop her younger sister when a few knocks brushed against the door to their room, making her more annoyed at the disturbance. Not only that she need to have the same talk with Leni again, now she also need to handle whatever new problem her sibling has created while she was gone. There is no way she will ever get any rest in this house with how they all kept bothering her. That's what she got for being the eldest sister, unwanted responsibility. She wouldn't be surprised if her hair was already growing grey with all this stress being put on her shoulders.
Pinching the bridge of her nose in frustration, Lori glared at the door as if she could burnt the person standing behind it with her sharp gaze. "What is it?" She unconsciously raised her voice
It didn't worry her that much since most of her sibling were already used to that. They should already know by now that it wasn't and will never be a good idea to disturb her while she was resting. If they still dared to do so, then they are more than willing to meet her wrath. Which was at the top of the scale today, whoever it was behind the door, they better have a good reason for this.
"Hey, it's me Lincoln, can I come in?" Her eyes widened as her heart skipped a beat at the revelation of the person standing a few feet away from her with only a wooden door separating them. she wasn't sure what she was feeling at the moment, honestly she was a little bit confused since he rarely come to her anymore with how he always seems to be busy helping Lisa with whatever experiment she was doing. Maybe she also felt kind of irritated with the lack of his presence lately, but that doesn't bother her that much, probably.
"Oh! Come in Linky, I totes have something to show you!" Leni squealed, bringing Lori back to the realization of their prior conversation.
Quickly getting on her feet, She snatched the underwear from her sister hand before throwing it like a bullet to the far corner of their room where their clean laundry were gathered into a pile.
"Hey!" Leni shouted, puffing her cheek with a glare, if anything it was more cute than intimidating to her. Lori couldn't help but feel more annoyed at her sister right now, even when she is trying to be mad, she was able to make herself look cuter. But that wasn't any of her concern right now, if Lincoln saw Leni holding that thing she couldn't imagine how awkward it would be like for them.
As soon as the piece of clothing fell behind the pile of laundry, the door opened, revealing the figure of her white haired brother walking into the room with a sheepish smile plastered on his face.
Sitting on the edge of her bed, Lori crossed her arms over her chest with her right leg folded over the other, her narrowed eyes glaring at her brother. "What do you want twerp?" She asked, already changing into her usual disinterest voice.
"Sorry if I bothered you, if you want I can leave now so you can continue with your rest." Lincoln said, pointing his thumb at the door behind him.
Her heart instantly dropped. "No!" Lori shouted, startling him a little with her sudden outburst. She didn't mean to say it that loud. Clearing her throat, she returned back to her usual self. "You're already here twerp, just tell me what you want already." She suggested. She don't exactly know why but she can't just let him leave that easy after how long he had been away from them. Did she actually missed him being around? He is her brother, of course she cares about his well being. Who knew how much weird chemical he had been exposed to while assisting Lisa with her experiment. Seeing him right now still intact and breathing was a good enough reassurance that he was at least alright even if he was little bit different.
"Oh, I was just wandering if you want to go to the mall with me today." He inquired, shocking both Lori and Leni as their eyes widened at him. The former raised an eyebrow in confusion while the latter squealed in joy at the mention of the place. Leni was admittedly more than happy that her brother would also join them for something after how long he had been busy with Lisa. It has been quite awhile since he took part in any of their activity and if possible she don't want to waste any time she could have with him. Before she got to say anything though, Lori cut her off with her question.
"Okay, what's the catch twerp, there is no way you would actually want to go to the mall with us without a reason." She accused. Of course if he want to her to buy something for him she wouldn't mind that much since she still have some money left from her part time job. He could at least help them carry their bags as an agreement if he wanted her to give some money for him to buy his stuff. Her brother wanting to go to the mall at all was a good thing for her in the first place. How long has it been since they actually spend some time together. With him constantly being with Lisa, she could barely remember when the last time he do anything with them. Not only her, but also the rest of her sisters except for Lisa. What were they doing anyway that it would take so much of his time from them, and why would he be so willing to help her.
"Well, I have to buy some stuff for Lisa, and I thought you would want to come with me since we barely do anything together lately." He sighed guiltily. "It's fine if you don't want to come with me though, I understand if you're mad at me for spending so much time with Lisa, I just wanted to make sure that she was safe during her experiment." He explained, his eyes lowered to the floor.
It didn't take long for for his sister to respond as Lincoln flinched slightly when Leni suddenly hugged him, burying his face so close into her ample breast that he could barely breathe. "Don't be sad Linky, of course we would go with you." Leni said, shaking him in her tight embrace.
"Let him go Leni, you're literally choking him!" Lori groaned, pulling him away by the back collar of his orange polo shirt.
"Oops sorry Linky, like I'm totes so excited right now!" She apologized, pressing her index fingers together. "It won't happen again I promise, its just that I really misses spending time with you, Lori also misses you too you know."
"Leni!" Lori shouted, a faint tinge of red colored her cheeks.
"It's fine, I also misses both of you too." Lincoln responded, smiling softly at them, not noticing the changes of their expression or the blush growing brighter on their faces.
Surprisingly it didn't take long for his sisters to get ready as after a few minutes of waiting, they're already in vanzilla and heading to the mall. He did suggest that they asked the others if they want to come along with them, but for some weird reason Leni suddenly grabbed his wrist in a tight grip before pulling him into the old vehicle, making him a little bit nauseous with the force she was using.
Before he got to ask why she was in such a hurry, Lori sat in the driver seat, started the engine and pulled the vehicle from the driveway as they started going to the mall. He was pretty sure he could hear some shouting coming from the house for a second but it quickly died down when vanzilla sped off into the pavement. It almost felt like they're avoiding their other sisters with how precise they're moving, but he could only shrugged it off as them being eager to go shopping with him. Well at least he hoped so. With how long he had been away from them he was quite nervous if he was approaching his sisters in the right way.
There is no amount of apology he make could show how much guilt he felt for avoiding them like that during his time with Lisa. He knew how much they needed him sometimes with their own activities, always asking for him to join them every opportunity they could get. And he was resigned with his fate to spend his time with them even though how exhausting it was for his body. But even then, he still needed a time out from his facade, a moment of rest where he can be alone and think for himself. And recently he felt much better with the new addition in his resting time. He couldn't help the small smile appearing on his face at the thought of her. It was foolish, how easy it was for him to be flustered even at the memory of her alone.
"Linky, are you alright, You seemed bothered?" Leni asked beside him as Lincoln quickly shook his head, not noticing Lori who was also looking at him from the rearview mirror.
"I'm fine Leni, it's just that its really been awhile since we do anything like this, I kind of missed it you know." He wasn't actually lying to them by saying that, he was genuinely looking forward for this trip with them.
"Oh~ me too Linky," Leni wrapped her arms around him, instead of her usual tight gripping hug, he was met with a soft embrace which he gladly reciprocated with his own. From the driver seat, Lori watched them with a small smile on her face, though there is a hint of jealousy in her eyes, and perhaps envy for her younger sister.
"Sigh, I missed you too brother." They jumped a little in their seat when a monotone voice spoke, startling them with the realization of the new passenger in the vehicle.
"Lucy, when did you get in here!?" Lori asked, her eyes quickly glancing from the street to the black haired sister sitting in the third row just behind Lincoln and Leni. She almost stopped the vehicle when her sister suddenly appeared like that since she was pretty sure that vanzilla was empty when they got in there. Lincoln wasn't faring any well either in his seat, but instead of the shock caused by his sister appearance, his distress mostly came from Leni who was currently tightening her hug around him, almost crushing his ribs and constricting the air from his lungs.
"L-Leni... N-need air!" He managed to choke out, his face paled at the lack of oxygen in his body. Noticing his plea, Leni quickly released him as he inhaled deeply, replacing the lost air in his lungs, his face eventually returning back to its normal color. "I think I almost faint there." He chuckled, placing his hand against his chest only to feel his rapid heartbeat. He should already be used to her sister hug by now with how she always caught him off guard with one, but this time it was kind off different than her usual hug, it was more desperate, as if she was afraid that he would disappear if she let him go. It was concerning, and looking into her eyes right now he could sense the guilt she was feeling because of him.
Lisa was right, he was being unfair to his sisters with how much he had been avoiding them lately just because he wanted to be close with her. But is that really his fault? Was it really his fault that he wanted to always be with the girl that he loves with all of his heart. He was being selfish, they are his sisters, they deserved better than what he have to offer for them. He already gave everything he have to her, he don't have anything else he could give to them.
Sure he still loved them as his sisters, but his love for them was different than his love for her. It doesn't make sense how much thing have changed since he realized his real feeling towards the girl, now that he was looking at Leni, it broke him to know that he had failed her as a brother, it broke him even more at the possibility of the same thing happening to his other sisters. They deserved someone better than him. He was sick for having this kind of feeling for his younger sister, he don't have any right to call himself their brother with how much he was hurting them even if they didn't realized it yet. Even now, he was hurting them without noticing it. He was selfish, he knew that he was being cruel to his sisters by avoiding them and yet it didn't stop him from keep doing so. There is no one to blame but himself for his own desire, for his own cruel feeling that tortured him with something that he couldn't reach no matter how close it was. Even when he got what he wanted, it still feel impossible for it to work, for them to work.
But she proved him that he was wrong, and he loved her even more because of that.
Maybe it was different now, maybe it will never be the same again between him and his sisters after this, but he will never regret it. There is no reason for him to regret anything with the reminder of every moment he spent with her. The sensation he would feel from her touch and the occasional smile and laughter that graced her lips. It was intoxicating, a drug he will never get enough of no matter how many times he had seen them. He will do anything to see her smile, to be there and be the one to make her smile. It warmed his heart, making him feel more alive with every successful squeal he could elicit from the girl. It sounded so wrong for a lot of reason, and yet he smiled, a contentful smile that reminded him that the only mistake he made was doubting himself. It was both funny and cruel in a weird way, a mix that he had been familiar to by now.
"I'm sorry Linky, I made a promise I won't hug you like that again and I broke it, silly me," Leni apologized with a small frown on her face, a look so different than her usual cheerful self. "Please don't be mad at me." She whispered with a hint of fear in her voice. What was she so afraid of, he will never do anything that could hurt her.
Placing his hand on top of hers, Lincoln looked at his sister with a soft smile. "I'm not mad at you Leni, and I don't think I even have the place in my heart to ever be mad at you, you're my sister and I just hope that you will tell me if there is anything bothering you. I know I haven't been the most reliable person lately, but I still cares about you." He said, shocking them when he held her hand up and brushed his lips against her knuckles. It was a comforting gesture from his side but unfortunately they didn't see it like that. If the way his sisters face flushed red in embarrassment would indicate anything, he was none the wiser of it with the way he seemed to be calm with the entire situation as if it was nothing more than a chaste kiss between siblings. At least he thought so, the same couldn't be say about his sisters as they each has their own ranging reactions due to his sudden action that he was unaware of.
In the driver seat, Lori's knuckles whitened at the strength she was using to clench the steering wheel, the corner of her lips twitched slightly even with the strained smile plastered on her face. Watching from the rearview mirror, she couldn't help but look at Leni who was now hugging their brother again with a genuine smile on her face. Even Lucy has slumped back in her seat with her arms crossed against her chest with a defeated sigh. With the dark bangs covering her eyes, Lori couldn't tell if her younger sister was looking out through the window or glaring at the pair infront of her. If she didn't look back to the front, she wouldn't be surprised if they noticed the way her eyes were narrowed at them in a burning gaze.
Lori could barely contain her frustration when they arrived at the mall. As soon as they entered the building, Leni quickly pulled their brother by the wrist to the shop where she knew was having a great sale. Not having much of a choice, and not wanting to leave her brother alone with Leni, she followed them with her arms crossed. She didn't even realize when Lucy separated from them and heading ahead of her. She can't think of anything right now with the memory of what happened earlier still clear in her head much to her irritation. If she doubted that Lincoln was being different before, now she was certain of it. There is no way her dork of a brother would suddenly changed like this, at least not without a reason. Either good or bad she would find out later, now she needs to make sure that she wasn't assuming thing and what better way to do that than shopping.
She was wrong,
In every store she got into, the sight of Leni smiling while showing different pair of clothes to their brother make her more frustrated than she already was. And the way Lincoln would smiled back and gave his genuine opinion about the clothes like he really cared how she looks like make her heart skipped a beat much to her annoyance. She had never seen her brother so eager helping any of them to choose their dress before, if anything he would already be bored by now while waiting for them. Sometimes she would even see Lucy doing the same with Lincoln with every black dress she chose, only for him to nod and pat her head as a tinge of pink painted her pale cheek. She almost can't believe her eyes when Lincoln picked up a brown dress and looked at it as if he was imagining someone wearing the clothes. And that damned smile returned to his face when he closed his eyes and put the dress back where he got it from. Whatever he was thinking about earlier, the thought followed him as the smile stayed on his face.
At one point while she was walking around, she even found Lucy standing in the lingerie section as the black haired girl closely inspected the vast variety of suggesting underwears hanging against the wall. Not wanting to be scolded by her parents for letting the young innocent girl being in there, Lori quickly pulled her sister away from the section just at the right time since she was certain that her black haired sister was almost touching the article to check out the material it was made of. She is way too young for something like that. Why would she be in there anyway? Before she got to ask the girl herself, Lucy had already disappeared from her sight. Gritting her teeth, Lori hoped that her younger sister wouldn't returned back to that place as she headed back to the store where Lincoln and Leni were still purchasing their clothes. She was quite surprised to see that Lucy was already there with a black dress in her hand, showing it to him for his opinion. At least one of her concern has been put down since the girl was here with them. She just needs to keep her eyes on her sister now so she wouldn't be straying to that section again.
Lori was too caught up watching her black haired sister walking from one section to another that she didn't realize when Lincoln approached her with a dress in his hand.
"Hey Lori." She was a little bit startled when he called her name but quickly shook it off to look at her brother. Seeing the dress in his hand, she raised an eyebrow in curiosity before reaching for her purse and took out some cash for him to use. She don't exactly know why he would wanted to buy a dress, it could be a present for one his friends so she went along with it. The reaction she got from him was not something that she expected. "Um Lori, not to be rude, but what actually are you doing?" Lincoln asked, confusing her even more.
"It's the money for you to buy that dress, isn't that why you wanted me to come to the mall in the first place?" Lori said, flinching slightly when his eyes widened before a frown taking place on his face. Lincoln lowered his head as his fist tightly clutching the dress.
"I'm sorry for making you think like that," He lifted his head to look at her, his smile strained and his eyes glistened under the ceiling light above them. Her heart instantly sank, she could feel everything around her going slower than usual at the painful sight before her. It was almost impossible that the person she was seeing right now was the same smiling person she had seen before. Even with the smile still on his face, it wasn't the same anymore, it was forced, strained, desperate to hide the real thing from coming out. What was it, is it shame, guilt ,hurt? She don't know but she wanted him to stop looking at her like that right now.
"Lincoln." She muttered.
"I actually have no reason to go to the mall today, I lied saying that I have something to buy." He put the dress beside her. "I just thought that we could spend some time together today since you like going shopping, but you have been really quiet since we got here. I don't exactly know why before but you don't need to come with me if you think I need money from you. I just wanted to hang out you know." He admitted, rubbing his left arm in guilt.
Clenching her teeth, Lori bent down a little and grabbed both of his arms by his side before looking straight into his light blue eyes. "Listen here Lincoln, I'm literally sorry for thinking like that, firstly, I don't mind spending some cash for you and second, I'm here because I wanted to be here, I also wanted to hang out with you even if sounded really weird, and I..." She paused, her cheeks reddened.
"I missed you..." She whispered, her eyes lowering to the floor.
Lori jerked slightly when Lincoln suddenly wrapped his arms around her in a gentle yet firm embrace, his head rested on her right shoulder as her body basked in her brother comforting warmth. It felt like a bliss as she returned the hug, taking in the scent of her brother against her body. No wonder why Leni really likes to hug him with how comfortable it was. She would have hug him longer if not for the weird gazes they received from the passerby watching them. But she don't need to do that as he was the one to pull away from her first, much to her relief and dismay. She wouldn't have mind if he wanted stay like that a little bit longer.
"Thanks Lori," Lincoln said as the smile returned to his face. Seeing his smile she couldn't help but joined him with her own before she glared at her.
"If you tell anyone I said that to you I will literally turn you into a human pretzel," She threatened only to receive a chuckle from him.
"That's the sister I know." Lincoln picked the dress up and held it towards her. Lori raised a brow at him, not knowing what he was trying to say.
"I pick this dress for you, I thought it would look really good if you're the one wearing it." He suggested.
"O-oh" She bashfully took the dress from him, It wasn't anything special, a light blue dress that reached her knees. "D-do you want me to try it out?" She asked.
"If you don't mind." Lincoln shrugged, pointing at one of the vacant changing stalls.
Sighing in resignation, Lori got into the stall and changed into the dress he picked out for her, like she said, it was nothing special, a modest dress that didn't reveal too much as she stared at herself from the mirror. She couldn't help but wonder why he chose this dress for her. Okay here goes nothing I guess.
Stepping out from the stalls, she was met with a surprised look from Leni who looked at her with wide eyes full with excitement. She squealed before approaching her while inspecting her dress up and down. How the dress really hugged her curves and revealing her beauty.
"O. M. Gosh Lori, where did you find this dress, you looks totes gorgeous." Her younger sister praised, much to her embarrassment.
From the side Lincoln watched them with a soft smile." You looks beautiful Lori." He said with a thumb up making her heart pace quickened. Her flustered face blushed even harder at his compliment.
She bought the dress.
When they arrived home, they were attacked with a lot of question when their other sisters realized their brother went to the mall without them. It was certainly hectic with a fight going on with the twins demanding for him to play with them. Like a chain reaction, the rest started demanding the same thing from him. That is until Lori stopped them and said that he will need to get some rest after the day. Some of the sisters tried to argue, but a quick glare from the eldest sister was enough to silence their argument. Lincoln thanked her sisters for their understanding and headed upstairs to get some rest like Lori suggested. But instead of going to his room, he went into the room that has been the second sanctuary for him. A place that he had frequently visited due to the person residing in it. The person that somehow know him even more than anyone ever did. And he loved her for being with him.
"Welcome home male sibling unit, I presumed your trip went as well as I expected." Lisa said as she stood infront the glass jar containing the pulsating flesh and green substance. She scribbled down whatever details regarding the artificial cells growth into her clipboard. From where he was standing, he could already tell that the lump seemed to be larger than before. If anything, it proved that they're going to the right direction.
"Well, I guess you can say it like that." He hugged the brown haired girl from behind, looking at her note from over her shoulder. A small frown appeared on his face at what he have to say next. He don't want to admit it but it was the only thing he could do for now. With how much his other sisters were affected during his absence, he couldn't just ignore them like nothing ever happened. They're still his sisters and they deserved their time with their brother.
"You're right Lisa," He sighed defeatedly. "I need to spend my time more appropriately after this, so much thing has changed with them since then and I'm really missing out on it. I need to fix it up, they still need their brother after all." He chuckled, snuggling his face into the crook of her neck.
Lisa put her clipboard down and raised her right hand to place it on his face, softly caressing his cheek. "I'm glad that you've realized how much your time here have affected our sisters, I would really appreciate it if you start communicating more with them." She said. He couldn't help but chuckled at her response.
"You're probably the most understanding girl I've ever met, if you're any other girl they would have definitely been upset if their boyfriend was hanging out with other girls." Lincoln teased her. His fingers playing with the strand of her messy brown hair.
"Unlike those girls speciments, we're talking about our sisters unit here, I don't think it would be a bother to you." Lisa fixed her round glasses on the bridge of her nose.
"But you're also my sister, what makes you think it wouldn't be the same with them?" At that she quickly turned around and glared at him beneath her thick round glasses, shocking him a little.
She grabbed his collar with both of her hands and struggled to pull him down before pressing her lips against his, catching him off guard with how sudden it was. Instead of backing away, he deepened the kiss, savouring the taste of her intense need and desire. When she pulled away, he was left wanting more, hoping that the kiss would stay a little bit longer. His eyes a haze of a blur with the warmth coursing through his body like a reignited amber. And the sight of her flustered sister standing infront of him tempted him to do more with her. But he knew his boundary and restrained himself from crossing that line.
"You will never do such thing like that..." Lincoln looked back at the shorter girl who was still glaring at him. "... You belong to me and mine alone," She reminded him, not that he need that, he will never betray his love for her. With a smile, Lincoln planted a tender kiss against her forehead.
"I know." He responded, slowly backing away from her. "I got you something from the mall earlier, I'm not sure if it will fit you or not, but I just wanted to see you try it on." He picked up the shopping bag that he placed beside her desk and pulled out a brown dress before giving it to her.
Lisa held the dress while staring at him with a sceptical look. Even if she liked the color of the dress, she never seemed to be comfortable wearing one before. "Are you sure male sibling unit?" She questioned.
"You don't need to, I just wanted to know if the dress fit you." He said.
Sighing, Lisa reached the hem of her green sweater and began pulling it over her head. Lincoln quickly turned around as to not disturb her privacy even if he had seen all of them at some point already. Judge him all that you want, he might be weird but that is nothing compared to the fact that he was in a relationship with his younger sister.
'I'm done you can turn around now." Lisa said. Following her order, his eyes widened at the beautiful sight before him. His heart skipped a beat and a dark blush colored his cheeks afterwards. From her messy brown hair, right to the dress hanging a little bit loosely from her figure, he could barely contain himself from taking her in his arms and peppered her caramel skin with kisses. Instead of doing so, he smiled at her.
"You look lovely Lise." It was rare for him to call her as anything more than cute and that brought a blush to her face.
